Arithmetic Fuchsian groups are the most interesting and most important Fuchsian groups owing to their significance for number theory and owing to their geometric properties. However, for a fixed signature there exist only finitely many non‐conjugate arithmetic Fuchsian groups; it is therefore desirable to extend this class of Fuchsian groups. This is the motivation of our definition of semi‐arithmetic Fuchsian groups. Such a group may be defined as follows (for the precise formulation see Section 2). Let Γ be a cofinite Fuchsian group and let Γ2 be the subgroup generated by the squares of the elements of Γ. Then Γ is semi‐arithmetic if Γ is contained in an arithmetic group Δ acting on a product Hr of upper halfplanes. Equivalently, Γ is semi‐arithmetic if all traces of elements of Γ2 are algebraic integers of a totally real field. Well‐known examples of semi‐arithmetic Fuchsian groups are the triangle groups (and their subgroups of finite index) which are almost all non‐arithmetic with the exception of 85 triangle groups listed by Takeuchi [16].
